Hello Wizards!
It's that time of the week again... We're back at it with a patch today and we have many, many changes to share.
Today's patch includes a number of changes specifically requested by the community as well as fixes to some lingering bugs. Most notably, we've made changes to tame times, modified boss caves enemy perceptions for a better gameplay experience and have potentially fixed that pesky structure decay bug! We also have included a potential fix for tamed creatures falling through floors.
With today's update, you can also expect the addition of Vivox spatial VOIP. We hope you take a moment to test it out and provide us with your feedback!
As always, please let the servers restart in order to get today's update. While you wait feel free to check out the rest of our patch notes below:
Patch Notes
- Fixed HP for marble large curved acute roof
- Adjusted some rocks and terrain to prevent griefing
- Many players have noted that our NPC run and flight speeds have been inconsistent. In conjunction with putting them in a new, more sensible hierarchy, we have buffed all flight trinket fly speeds to make them more viable options. The only exceptions are Daredevil's broomstick and flight of the architect, which have the same speeds as before
- Community feedback has suggested that maintaining tames is a bit more tedious than we intended. To help reduce this grind, we have significantly buffed the tame time rewards for all raw meats, plus egg and milk. We have also slightly increased the average drop quantity of raw meats on NPCs.
- Buffed several loot chests rewards slightly in various non-cave and non-NPC camp parts of the world
- Players have found collision gaps in some of the rounded floor and roof pieces. These have been given tighter collision extents
